Military housing comprises of homes of various types, including apartment-style accommodations. Furthermore, it's meant for use only by active-duty service members and their eligible dependents. Some of the housing supply is maintained by the Department of Defence (DOD) is on various military bases, though a great deal of it isn't actually on a base itself. Instead, large housing areas may be in purpose-built military housing subdivisions. The majority of which are near a military base. Technically, the military can call for you to live in on-base family housing, if there happen to be vacancies

Military homes Benefits

Government-sponsored housing is one of the perks afforded to active-duty people of the armed forces. According to a recent study DOD carried out on privatizing its inventory, the department is accountable for maintaining more than 257,000 individual units. About 65 % to 70 % of military service members, though, live off base in their own households, apartments and the like. Those members receive a monthly tax-free stipend to do so.

Military real estate Considerations

Single military members who decide to live in government-provided housing live in a barracks. Military members with eligible dependents live in homes of ranging sizes and types. How many bedrooms and what other kinds of features are incorporated depend on a number of factors, including the member's pay class, seniority, and officer or enlisted status. As well, the total number in the member's family is a essential determining factor.

Military property Features

A military member with a spouse and a child or two would usually be considered for, at minimum, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. Of course, the sizing of the home obtainable at the time, as well as its material condition, weighs heavily when it comes to such matters. Dependant on pay grade and seniority, some military homes can be quite roomy and well-appointed. Newer communities built by private developers have a tendency to resemble modern civilian subdivisions in just about every way.

Military properties

Recent impact research on the possible privatization of military housing have found that DOD's supply is in need of about $25 billion worth of repairs. In addition, it would also take more than 20 years to totally upgrade the inventory. Ground breaking joint ventures with personal developers, though, in which new communities are built by personal developers and then operated by them, seem to be helping. The fact is that, some DOD housing still in the inventory dates to before World War II.

Military condos

As more DOD housing is either fixed up or created by personal developers, some of the old stock is currently being turned over for civilian usage. This, in most cases, occurs when a military base is shut all the way down or when new military real estate communities spring up. In general, the land and architectural structures are turned over to local governments. At that point, it's usually up to those governments to decide whether to demolish any architectural structures or restore them for their own specific needs.
